I judged that the bargello, having failed in his project, was now reduced to guesswork, and I was strengthened in that view of the case when the gate-keeper of the palace told me, without my asking any question, as I came in, that an arrest had been attempted during the night, and had not succeeded.
The bill should be judged on its merits, and proper measures for the safeguarding of public interests should be put into it." "Don't think the bill will be judged on its merits, do you?" "No, I don't," replied Austen, "and neither do you." "Did you tell old Tom so?" asked Mr. Vane, after a pause. "Did you tell old Tom so when he sent for you to take hold?"
Emily, in her choice of books, did not confine herself to such as came strictly within a child's comprehension. She judged that a girl of such keen intelligence as Gerty was naturally endowed with would be benefited by what was beyond her comprehension; but that, in the effort she would be called upon to make, would enlarge her capacity, and be an incentive to her genius.
I don't know where you will find a sweeter portrait of humility than in Esther, the poor play-girl of King Ahasuerus; yet Esther put on her royal apparel when she went before her lord.

She concluded, also, that Delvile would be informed of these calumnies, yet she judged his generosity by her own, and was therefore convinced he would not credit them: but what chiefly at this time encreased her sadness and uneasiness, was the mention of Mrs Delvile's broken constitution and ruined health.
At last all was in readiness; and the occupants of the village, together with their animals all heavily laden, even the women carrying heavy burdens started on their way. It was five days' journey, and they halted at last at a small village which was evidently private property down in the plains at the foot of the mountains and, as Lisle judged, at no very great distance from the frontier line.
His mental engine, so far as could be judged by its verbal expression, turned over stiffly. Apparently it had never been run enough to be smoothed down at least in English.
